The symbolic image of “light in attire” (světlo v obleči), found in Jan Hus’ medieval collection of Czech homiletic commentaries on scriptural passages known as Postil, is examined in the present study against the general background of Alexander Stich’s penetrating analysis of the symbolism of light and attire in Jaroslav Seifert’s Světlem oděna (“Attired in Light”, a collection of poems published in 1940). Compared with Seifert’s multi-faceted poetic image of the city of Prague “attired in light”, Jan Hus’ use of světlo v obleči does not seem, at first sight, to be much more than a translation of a metaphor used by Saint Gregory the Great. At closer look, however, Hus’ choice of obleč – arguably a rather uncommon and semantically somewhat vague word at the time – appears to be a well-considered creative act generating a variety of connotations of the concepts of “light” and “attire”. It is argued that by employing an uncommon word – yet a word easily identifiable with common Czech expressions derived from the same root – Jan Hus was able to masterly parallel the symbolic use of the Latin word testa – “(earthen) container (protecting the light inside)” – in the sense of “the human outside covering/protecting the godly inside” with the Czech word obleč – “a (cloth or leather) cover/attire (protecting the light inside)” – to express the same metaphor.

The paper describes the principles and structure of the one-million-word DIA1900 Corpus built at the Institute of the Czech National Corpus (CNC) in Prague, focused on the language of Czech texts published in the years 1851 to 1900. The DIA1900, planned for publication by June 2020 and to be followed by the DIA1850 (a corpus built around the same principles, with the focus on the first half of the 19th century), observes both the balanced representation of the three major text types (belles lettres — journalistic texts — technical/scientific texts) and the system of morphological tagging implemented in the synchronic corpora included in the CNC project, thus facilitating the diachronic comparison of two stages in the development of Czech. A brief description is given of the structure of the morphological terminology used in the lemmatisation and tagging of the corpus, and of two tools designed to help search the 19th century texts with their fluctuating orthographic consistency combined with phonological and morphological variation characteristics of the language of the period: (1) a multiple select/suggest feature (reminding the user of the existence of non-standard orthographic and phonological variants of the lemma found in the corpus before the lemma search is started) and (2) the position attribute (informing the user of the ambiguous status of a word in the text, resulting from a misprint or misspelling, damaged page etc.).

The objective of the paper is to describe the principles for building the onemillionword DIA1900 Corpus consisting of Czech texts published between 1851 and 1900, designed to be both balanced and representative. There are two main goals determining the methods of corpus building and the decision to develop new tools tailored to the special needs of 19th century Czech: 1) to present the variability of Czech in the 2nd half of the 19th century (including spelling, morphology, wordformation) and 2) to link the detected variants to the appropriate lemmas. The paper presents the phases of the processing of the texts, including transcription, manual pre-annotation, as well as the construction of a large morphological dictionary and the selection of a suitable set of paradigms. Further sections are focused on annotation and morphological tagging and manual disambiguation. The objective was to create a gold standard, intended for use in the automatic annotation both of the DIA1900 corpus and the planned corpus of Czech texts of the years 1800–1850.
